Google recently released the Pixel C, a 10.2-inch Android tablet with a beautiful glass and aluminium build and a nifty keyboard attachment. It seems like an ideal work tablet at first blush, but dig deeper and you’ll find a bit of a deal breaker: there’s no way to have two apps on screen at once.
Yes! The Nexus 6P has NFC capabilities, unlike some other recent phones we could name (cough, OnePlus 2). The transmitter used for NFC is in the big black bar on the back of the phone, allowing signals to easily escape the otherwise metallic construction of the phone. The Nexus 6P is therefore perfect for use with Android Pay and the range of NFC accessories too.
Google have turned to some new partners to create official cases for the Nexus 6P. One of these partners is Adopted, who created a stylish microfibre case for the Google handset. Unfortunately, Android Police is reporting that this case has an annoying flaw: it’s really difficult to take screenshots when the case is worn.
Tag Heuer just announced the most expensive Android Wear smartwatch ever. It’s called the Connected Watch, and it costs $1,500 (£1,000). That’s about double the price of the second most expensive Android Wear device from Huawei, and it marks a move into the proper luxury market for Google’s wearable OS.
If your phone hits the ground without a case on it, you wouldn’t be too surprised to see some cracked glass. But what if your phone’s glass cracked just sitting on your desk, with no obvious trauma? That’s what has been happening to some Nexus 6P owners, and they’ve been taking to Reddit and Twitter to show off their newly damaged phones.
